About the Game

A simple short 5 minute game that questions the importance of goals. There is only one way to win the game: don’t kill the cow, but is winning the game worth it? How much do the phrases you win and you lose mean to you?

Includes 3 endings.

Playable with arrow keys, WASD, or mouse.

This is a windowed game.
